Does this device work any differently than the ones that mention "Thunderbolt" rather than "display port'?

Device only provided video to the TV no audio. Had to lusten to the audio through the laptop computer.

No, this is not thunderbolt compatible. Instead of trying to figure out how to connect this via Thunderbolt, consider getting a USB hub if you have run out of USB ports.

There is no thunderbolt cable included with this adapter... That will have to be bought separately...

Yes, Thunderbolt and MiniDisplay use the same connector. Some more info here: http://www.cnet.com/news/confusing-mini-displayport-with-thunderbolt/

This worked for me. My monitor has a DVI out on the back and my Macbook has a thunderbolt slot. It is exactly what I got it for.

No, I built this as a editing machine for solid works, and at my last job had two thunderbolt displays connected daisy chaining two more externals. In total I have 4 monitors running on this computer without issue. The ports are at a standard distance way from each other that two thunderbolt cables connect perfectly.

Just a note, for those not familiar with Thunderbolt who might not connect the dots between the original question referencing Thunderbolt and the first response mentioning DisplayPort: a Thunderbolt port can be used directly *as* a DisplayPort video port. So a DisplayPort cable could be used to drive this monitor from a Thunderbolt port. ...A Thunderbolt port is a DisplayPort video connector, *plus* contains some additional signals for extremely high-speed peripheral connections (Thunderbolt 1 goes up to 10 Gbits/sec, Thunderbolt 2 goes up to 20 Gbits/sec). (note that the question asked what cables were included, but the answer only said what ports were on the back of the display ... there may or may not be any cables included)

I do not have the hardware to test that, but I would be skeptical that it would work...The DisplayPort would be passing through a DisplayPort signal, but no the other way around.

The only place I have used thunderbolt is the thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. The drive itself does not use thunderbolt, only FireWire 800 or USB. If you are asking if you can go thunderbolt to FireWire, I don not know, I have not tried it.

No, mini displayport is its own thing. It has the same shape as Apple's Thunderbolt, which has display port built into it, but it is not the same as DVI.

I think it does, I have a 13" Macbook pro with the thunderbolt and the 4th generation macbook air has it too: " The Thunderbolt port on the right-hand side can daisychain up to six Thunderbolt peripherals and also supports MiniDisplayPort devices (and, via an adapter, VGA, DVI and HDMI monitors too). " so you could give it a try. So far mine works super.

Once it is in the thunderbolt port on a computer it shows up to the operating system as a FireWire 800 device with an LSI chipset. Just like having a FireWire port. So, yes, it should be just fine.

It will only work if you have a thunderbolt port. Check the left hand side of your rig and look for a hole with a lightning bolt icon. It's about half the width of USB. Don't confuse it with the mini display port on earlier models. The icon will be different. If the lightning bolt is there, you're good. I'm editing with it right now.

This will work with any display port whether it is onboard graphics or discrete graphics, and yes you could use it for an apple thunderbolt display.

No, it only works with mini display port and thunderbolt. For that u would need a USB to HDMI cable.

Not sure, but mine was purchased before Thunderbolt was available, and would have HAD to go in another input. Probably not Firewire either. Mini VGA?

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.
